Hi, I’m Kellye, a former business executive happily transformed into a writer, yoga teacher and practical life skills advocate for trauma survivors. I’m passionate about creative community building—changing the world, one relationship at a time. A graduate of the University of Kansas, I hold a Bachelor of Science in Secondary English Education. Currently, I live in land-locked Plano, Texas, dreaming of my next trip to the sea!

“When a girl follows a mysterious surfer boy to a forbidden surfing spot, she’s swept into an extraordinary underwater adventure that changes her life when she returns home.”

"Six lonely kids are drawn together during the autumn equinox. As tides turn and the moon shifts, they must face the truth—a profound and powerful magic lives in the deep."

Writing, community building, teaching, yoga and studying the ocean are some of my favorite things. Take a look at my News and Media for reviews of The Aquamarine Surfboard and Amethyst, The Shallows. Please check out my Resources page to find a discussion guide for THE AQUAMARINE SURFBOARD, as well as classroom sensory writing exercises and activities. The Expand page contains community building ideas and games for inside and outside the classroom. In Fun Stuff, there’s a Yoga Practice based on sea creature poses, an audio link to a guided Beach Meditation and a ton of exciting news about the mysteries of the ocean and the fascinating creatures that live there. In Contact and News/Media, there are lots of ways for us to connect.

Hope to hear from you soon!
